Popular Nigerian R&B duo, Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, are by far
the best singing group, not only in Nigeria but also on the African
continent. At least the last MAMAs nailed the truth on the head.
And despite being faced with many controversies, these music duo have
undoubtedly won the hearts of their numerous fans all over the world
with their kind of music.
Meeting up recently with Peter Okoye, of the P-Square twins, at a
restaurant in Lagos where he spoke about their fame, challenges,
controversies and other sundry issues, the Dance With Peter host said he
feels let down when people see them as just dancers instead of the
entertainers they are.
“I am used to people saying I love Psquare because they know how to
dance, but the fact is that I don’t like it when people refer to us as
dancers” he said wryly
“They can regard us as entertainers and musicians because it makes us
more presentable. A fan once told me that ‘Peter, I love you guys
because of your kind of love songs’. But the question is when last did a
love song sell or made a hit in Nigeria, aside “Olufunmi” by Starplus
and probably, “Beautiful Onyiye” by Psquare”
“These days people are used to the song they play in the club so,
even if you release a love song, they won’t play it in the club because
it belongs to a different genre. I’m happy we have a fan who still
believes in love songs and we are going to revive it”
